Put those scraps to use!

Here's my weekly SP and Company Design Team post for the week. I wanted to make a card to show that Bold Sentiments III: Birthdays can be used to make more than just a birthday card. While there are many great birthday sentiments in this set, there are also a few that can be used for other occasions as well.

I used the stamp that says "Wishing happiness & joy for today & always". I thought it could be used for so many things including cheering someone up or even congratulations.

I also embossed this card base and added the same shape label as the card above but then I added more color and lots of birthday fun! I hand-cut the banner and gifts using scraps of EP Dots & Stripes Metropolitan 6x6 pad and tied them all up with twine. The banner under the sentiment is hand-cut from EP Birthday Boy paper.

About Me

I'm lucky enough to be a SAHM to my 3 little boys here in the Pacific Northwest. In my spare time (when I manage to escape from kitchen and laundry duties!) I am a paper crafter, tea/coffee drinker, chocolate lover, daydreamer, and procrastinator. The perfect day for me would end with a clean house and some messy, painty, inky fingers. Unfortunately, it's usually the opposite. My wonderful hubby of 16 years is just crazy enough to put up with me.
